After more than 15 months of war in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian area is practically uninhabitable. Donald Trump wants to move people to resettlement. A highly controversial idea.
US President Donald Trump considers the controversial resettlement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip drawn by the war to neighboring Arab countries as the best solution. “I think you should get a good, fresh, beautiful piece of land, and we find people who give money to build it and make it beautiful, and worth living and pleasant,” said Trump in the White House.
So far, people from the Gaza Strip have had no other option than returning to their homeland, which are the same, Trump said. But if there were an alternative, people would accept it, Trump specified. “This Gaza thing never worked,” Trump said before a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Reconstruction of the Gaza Strip is “up to 15 years”
Trump’s plans are highly controversial. The Palestinians reject them, as well as the neighboring countries of Jordan and Egypt. The Islamist Hamas accused Trump “racism”. “We reject the statements by US President Donald Trump, in which he asks the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip to leave their homeland under the pretext of reconstruction,” said a member of the Hamas Politburos, Issat al-Rischk. Trump’s statements are the undisguised attempt to refuse their inalienable national rights to the Palestinians.
The leading Hamas member Sami Abu Suhri was similar. “We consider this to be a recipe that will cause chaos and tensions in the region, because the population of the Gaza Strip will not allow these plans. What we need is the end of the crew and aggression against our people, not the expulsion from its Land, “said Suhri.
In the meantime, according to the UN, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have already returned to the north, the most devastated part of the sealed coastal strip, and try to build a new life there.
The US special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, had declared after his return from a visit to the Gaza Strip that the reconstruction would take up to 15 years. After more than 15 months of war, life there is practically impossible, just because of the danger from tens of thousands of duds. The supply of drinking water, energy and gasoline has collapsed.
